1.15 The Rise of Scourge and Ravenpaw's Path

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 08:00:00 -0400

We break into the classic Warriors manga! We learn the origns of Scourge, and hear all about the first gay cats.

The Rise of Scourge: When kittypet Tiny crosses paths with some wild forest cats defending their territory, he is left with scars - and a bitter, deep-seated grudge. As his reputation grows among the strays and loners that live in the dirty brick alleyways of Twolegplace, he changes his name to Scourge and puts everything about his old life behind him - except his deadly desire for revenge.

Ravenpaw's Path: Ravenpaw has settled into life on the farm, away from the forest and Tigerstar's evil eye. He knows that leaving the warrior Clans was the right choice, and he appreciates his quiet days and peaceful nights with his best friend, Barley. But when five rogue cats from Twolegplace come to the barn seeking shelter, Ravenpaw's new life is threatened. He and Barley must try to find a way to overpower the rogues-before they lose their home for good.

1.14 Redtail's Debt and Blackfoot's Reckoning

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 08:00:00 -0400

It's time to start stanning Redtail. Oh yes, I know every Warriors purist just deleted the podcast. But listen, there are REASONS. Have trust.

Blackfoot deals with his questionable past, and we judge him for it, too.

A ThunderClan warrior who dared to stand in the way of the ambitious cat who would become Tigerstar.

One ShadowClan leader's path to redemption.

1.10 A Dangerous Path Part 2

Thu, 21 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Fireaheart is increasingly pressured with the responsibilities of ThunderClan, with Bluestar not in her right mind. We finally ask the ultimate question: is Blluestar a good leader?

ShadowClan now has a dark new leader, but will he be satisfied with his power now—or does his desire for revenge burn even more strongly? Fireheart fears that there is a connection between the rise of Tigerstar and the terrible dreams of danger that haunts his nights.Meanwhile, a mysterious threat has invaded the forest, placing every cat's life in peril. Fireheart's beloved leader has turned her back on their warrior ancestors, and Fireheart can't help but wonder if she's right. Has StarClan abandoned them forever?

1.06 Bluestar's Prophecy Part 2

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Bluestar is really hurting, y'all. This one was hard to talk about. She deals with very relatable sorrows, and it's pretty heavy even for these tragic cat books. We get through it though, and in two weeks we'll be back to Fireheart and his (sad) shenanigans.

Four Clans of wild cats have shared the forest for generations, thriving in their territories. But tensions are running high, and ThunderClan must assert its strength or risk falling prey to its power-hungry neighbors.Into this time of uncertainty, a kit is born. A prophecy foretells that Bluekit will be as strong as fire, destined to blaze through the ranks of her Clan. But with this prophecy comes the foreshadowing of her destruction by the one enemy she cannot outrun.As Bluekit gains power and eventually earns her leader name, Bluestar, she fights to protect her Clan. But secrets from the past threaten to surface—secrets that may destroy ThunderClan... and Bluestar.

1.02 Into the Wild

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Into the Wild by Erin Hunter is our first book to share and there's a whole lot that goes on. These cats were described as having "Shakspearean problems" and lemme tell you, they truly do.

For generations, four Clans of wild cats have shared the forest according to the laws laid down by their warrior ancestors. But the ThunderClan cats are in grave danger, and the sinister ShadowClan grows stronger every day. Noble warriors are dying—and some deaths are more mysterious than others. In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary house cat named Rusty . . . who may turn out to be the bravest warrior of them all.
